Guide to eating well for Toddlers

“Should I feed my toddler snacks? They’re always hungry, but i’m worried i’m over-feeding them.”

With so much conflicting advice flying around about what we should and shouldn’t feed our children, it can leave you wondering what the right thing is to do. Snacking is traditionally thought of as unnecessary and associated with unhealthy treats. However the right snack at the right time is actually just what toddlers need.

Dieticians agree that toddlers’ tummies aren’t big enough to take on board enough energy and nutrients from just three meals a day, so little ones need two to three snacks in-between, to boost energy, to fuel their explorations, and for healthy growth and development.

Dr Frankie Phillips, Nutrition Advisor to Organix, says the key is not to give them so much that they can’t then eat their meal.

“It’s all about good healthy snacking.  Variety, a mix of sweet and savoury flavours and a balance of different foods are all important.  So offer your little one lots of shapes, tastes and textures to help expand the repertoire of foods they eat, and this will also help ensure they’re getting a wider range of nutrients.
